Fathered by John Davis-Cherokee Indian, Living in the Delaware District.
Delivered by Fannie's Mother Mary Cummins Tiblow Stephenson. This information was gathered off his enrollment of citizenship.

December 7, 1906: Walter H. Stephenson was allotted 50 acres from the Cherokee Nation. His land allotment was next to his brother, Fred's, allotment near the Ketchum Cemetery.

April 7, 1924: Walter H. Stephenson purchased land.

December 29, 1928: Walter died in Commerce, OK, of influenza and pulmonary TB and Henderson McAdams, being the Justice of the Peace, witnessed his death. It is said that Mr. McAdams was drunk at the time and did not get all the facts correct on the death certificate. He stated that Drue Stephenson was his father. Andrew Stephenson, that he mentioned as father born in Indiana would actually be Walter's grandfather. He stated Anna Stephenson was Walter's mother. It has been said that Fannie was also called Anna.

August 15, 1999: When we met with Luther and RoAnn, they told us a story about the time when Henderson McAdams was notified by the officials that Walter had died, he was drunk and got the information somewhat incorrect on the death certificate. It was a good thing the true knowledge was known.
